Castile's mother, Valerie Castile, is acting as the trustee for her family in the settlement. The city of St. Anthony Village said it "moved expeditiously ... in order to allow the process of healing to move forward for the Castile family."

The statement also said: "No amount of money could ever replace Philando. With resolution of the claims the family will continue to deal with their loss through the important work of the Philando Castile Relief Foundation."
